               TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM BIVIN FORENSIC SOCIETY

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I rise today to honor and pay 
tribute to the William E. Bivin Forensic Society at Western Kentucky 
University in Bowling Green, KY. The Western Kentucky University 
Forensic Team recently defeated forensic teams from all over the world 
to claim the 2003 International Forensic Association, IFA, Championship 
in Vancouver, BC.
  Led by Director of Forensics Judy Woodring, the team of 36 students 
and eight coaches defeated 87 other universities to win the 2003 
American Forensic Association, AFA, National Championship and the Delta 
Sigma Rho-Tau Kappa Alpha, DSR-TKA, National Championship earlier this 
year. The Western Kentucky Forensic Team has a long tradition of honors 
and distinctions. Over the program's storied history, it has won four 
IFA International Championships, one AFA National Championship, five 
DSR-TKA National Championships, and thirteen Kentucky State Forensic 
Association Championships.
  I ask my colleagues in the Senate to pay tribute to the Western 
Kentucky University Forensic Team of Corey Alderdice, Drew Allen,
